School on

Superconductivity and Cryogenics

in Accelerators and Tokamaks

at

27 January - 7 February, 1998

Purpose

The Indian Accelerator and Tokamak programmes are now entering a new phase
with the initiation of superconductivity based projects namely, Superconducting
(SC) Cyclotron at VECC, Calcutta, SC LINAC at TIFR & NSC, SC Tokamak (SST-1)
at IPR, Gandhinagar, SC Wiggler and SC multipole magnets at CAT, Indore. It is
important for the success of these programmes that the young Indian scientists
and engineers who will work in these projects be exposed to the current advances
in these fields. The school is aimed at providing an opportunity to discuss
basic as well as technological aspects of superconductivity and cryogenics in
such devices. Basic and advanced lectures by experts from abroad and India who
have a wide experience in their respective fields of specialization are planned.
Special seminars on topics related to Indian programmes on Superconducting
Accelerators and Tokamaks will also be held during the school. The participants
should preferably be working in this field.

School Programme

Participants

The school will have around 60 selected participants from all over India.
The selection will be based on their current field of research work and
interests. The school is open to scientists and engineers from National
Laboratories, Universities and other Institutions interested in this area.

Accommodation

Accommodation will be provided to all the participants in CAT Guest House on
payment basis for the period, Jan 26 to 8 th Feb. Other expenses towards food
and transport will be borne by the candidates.
